12/1/2006 - Conference papersThis paper presents a method using a ray-tracing technique to determine absorption coefficients for underground mines. Absorption coefficients are determined and presented for octave bands from 63 Hz to 8 kHz.
-
1/1/1997 - Conference papersDiscusses a methodology to evaluate the causes of mishaps to develop recommendations to enhance safety. A specific case involves implementation of remotely controlled equipment in extended cut mining.
-
10/1/2009 - Conference papersBy surveying experienced equipment operators about visual cues, researchers developed a method to gather data on the needs and practices of machine operators while controlling the machine and the reasons for needing particular operational cues.
-
10/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes research to control dominant noise sources in continuous miners. This work ranks noise radiated by different conveyor sections and determines the effect of a urethane-coated tail roller on the noise radiated by the tail section.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers used motion analysis data and digital human models to evaluate factors that precipitate struck-by injuries in the operation of remote continuous mining machines.
-
10/1/2007 - Conference papersThis investigation analyzes factors influencing struck-by accidents during tramming of a continuous mining machine using digital human model simulations with a variety of subjects, postures, environmental constraints, and machine characteristics.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papers, NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThe purpose of this study was to assess the adequacy of the cab design and to determine the percentage of musculoskeletal symptoms among operators of mobile equipment used in mining and construction.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersTests were conducted in a full-scale ventilation gallery with a model mining machine that simulated airflow created by a dust scrubber. The results showed that operation of machine-mounted scrubbers improved face ventilation when blowing ventilation is ...
-
10/1/2005 - Conference papersThe focus of this research was to determine the noise exposures of heavy construction equipment operators while documenting the workers’ tasks, (i.e. hauling, moving, and/or pushing construction material).
-
10/1/2004 - Conference papersDescribes a method for assessing equipment jolting using a combination of "black boxes" called Shox Boxes and an onboard GPS system. The resulting configuration provides an objective assessment of jolting and a chance to determine its root causes.
